As reported by Business Insider, Kahneman’s findings relate to how individuals’ psychology can be divided into the ‘experiencing self’ and the ‘remembering self’.

Essentially, a longer holiday in one place or (broadly) doing one thing is great for the former, but you’ll eventually reach the point where the benefit to the ‘remembering self’ isn’t increasing at the same pace.

When it comes to the ‘remembering self’, more, shorter holidays can be more beneficial. This is because each trip can create a new memory to cherish, whereas two weeks in one place – while great for your in-the-moment ‘experiencing self’ – can just as easily end up leaving you with just the one longer-term memory.

And, of course, your experiencing self only really reaps the benefits of the trip itself (and, to a degree, the time spent preparing), whereas you’ll have your memories of it forever.

That said, there are occasions when you just need a two-week holiday, and often this comes down to short-term benefit being more important than creating a multitude of memories. Only you know what’s more important to you.

There’s also the option of booking two weeks away with a big split between weeks one and two, such as a city break followed by a week on the beach, or a longer road trip.

Now all that’s left is to figure out the best places to visit, depending on which month of the year you’re looking to go on holiday. Oh, and one or two other flying hacks wouldn’t go amiss.
